GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18, 1908.

Application led May 9| 1907 Serial No, 372.649

va citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lorain, in the county of Lorain and State of Ohio, have invented an improvement in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in burners for gas or easily vaporized hydrocarbon oils, the same having certain features of novelty as hereinafter described, whereby a superior result is obtained in respect to combustion and calorific effect.

The details of construction, arrangement, and combination of parts are as hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanyin drawing, in whichigure 1 is a central vertical section of the burner, including a vertical bar to'which it is attached. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the burner, a portion being broken away. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the detachable inner portion, or section, of the burner. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the body, or outer portion, of the burner.

A indicates the body, or outer portion, of the burner, B the detachable interior portion, and C a drip-pan, which is attached to the art A. The latter comprises a central cyindrical ortion 1, which is open at the bottom, as slicwn in Fig. 1, and provided with a series of gas or vapor orifices 2, the same be- .ing directed upward at an angle of about 45.

From the upperhalf of the cylindrical part 1 a series of arms 3 project upward and outward at an angle of about 45. They are in the nature of elongated at plates and are arranged equidistantly, their outer ends bein connected with a rim comprising a vertica part 4 and a lower, inwardly beveled part 5. The inclination of the beveled part 5 corresponds to the inclination of the arms or plates A The inner detachable portion of the burner B shown separately in Fig. 3 comprises a hollow inverted truncated cone 6 whose outer side is provided with a series of arms or plates 7 arranged at an angle of about 45 and arranged 1n groups, or series, of two, the members of each group or series being arranged eguidistantly and a wider space being provided between the severalgroups or series as indicated, so that when the art B is ut in place within the part A, as shown in igs. 1

' combustion'.

and 2, the arms 3 of part A occupy the spaces between the groups or series of plates 7, thus dividing the space around the cylindrical body 1 of the burner into equal spaces, into each of which a gas orifice 2 opens, as will be readily understood. The opening in the lower end of the inverted cone 6 is just large enough to receive the upper end of the cylindrical body 1 of part A, and the arms or projections 3 of the inner part B rest upon a circumferential rib formed on the cylindrical part 1. Thus the inner detachable part B is sup orted in due position but may be readily etached when required.

It will be seen that the several arms or plates 3 and '7 of the respective parts A, B, constitute practically so many partitions, or divergent guides, forming passagesinto which the yas discharges and where it is freely minged with air so as to effect a thorough The flame and heated gases of combustion impinge on the adjacent parts, to wit, the cone, the rim 4, 5, and the partitions 3, 7, while passing upward and escaping from the open spaces at the top ofthe burner.

The pan C is provided with a central raised portion or boss upon which the cylindrical body 1 of part A rests when the parts of the burner are secured together and attached to a support as indicated in Fig. 1. The means of attachment and support is a screw-bolt 9 which passes through the drippan and through the top of the cylindrical body 1,.and enters a bar x which depends from some suitable support. In practice such bar may be an attachment of a Waterheater such as forms the subject of my allowed application No. 317,487. It is to be understood, however, that my improved burner is designed and adapted for use in connection with various parts requiring to be heated. The function of the pan C is to receive the drip, or wat-er of condensation, from the pipe coil orl other portion of a wat-er-4 or other heater which may be arranged above it. The drip is evaporated in the pan and the vapor therefrom ascends, and hence no drain pipe or other means for receiving and discharging water of condensation is required.

The gas to support combustion is received through a lateral pipe 'y into the hollow cylindrical body 1, as will be readily understood; but a volatile hydrocarbon oil may be employed, since the same will be vaporized in the cylinder 1 and the vapor escape fromthe orifices 2.

It will be seen that by removal of the bolt 9, the burner as a whole may be detached from the support and the drip-pan also l removed from the part A; and then the parts 'other purpose.'

This application is a division in part of my application No. 317 ,487.

What I claim is- 1. The improved burner comprising a body portion Aformed of a hollow cylinder having lateral discharge openings for a combustible medium and a series of upwardly and outwardly projecting plates separated from each other, a ring joining the outer ends of the same, anda su erposed part comprising an inverted ho low cone arranged within the body part and having a series of upwardly and outwardly inclined plates adapted to fit between the corresponding plates of the body part as shown and described. v

2. The combination, with the body art A, comprising a hollow central portion a ing gas discharge orifices and a series of upwardl and outwardly diverging plates constituting partitions, a cylindrical and a beveled ring surroundin and connected with the outer ends of suoli partitions, the inner part B formed of a hollow inverted truncated eone and a series of upwardly and vout.

wardly divergent plates constituting partitions, the same being adapt-ed to pass between the partitions of the art A and thus divide the spaces. surroun lng the gas receiver and dlschar er into numerous chambers or passages W erein combustion is effeeted in the manner described.
